A new plant based Turkish take away opened on the Amsterdamsestraatweg here in Utrecht ! It's called Çigköftem (apparently part of a larger chain of Turkish take aways?) and they do durums, burgers and falafel like balls from a bulgur/tomato puree/spices mixture. Will definitely try this out some time !

I wanted some puff pastry today, and was checking the ingredients on the Koopmans brand packages. The 'origineel' type is made with non-dairy margarine, but it has vitamine D3. I personally don't avoid D3 (yet), but I guess many people do.

As far as I could tell, the non-puff pie pastry (hartige taart deeg) was 100% vegan though. I see some savory pies in my future!

Oh, I can't believe I've never mentioned this before. Do you guys know Professor Grunschnabel's ice cream? It's 100% plant based and they make really really interesting flavor combinations! It's not the cheapest stuff but it's a really great occasional treat. I think my favorites so far have been the Banana Bahiana, and another flavor that's not listed on their site with apple and almonds. Soooooooo yummy!

De Biomarkt in Amsterdam has Blue Style Sheese!! Get it while you can!

It's miiiineeee! I am going to make a chard/pasta/blue cheese stirfry very soon :-P

I also got some No Muh. We ate the herbed variety over a fennel risotto yesterday. So good! I think it is similar to hard goat's cheese. You could definitely serve it to an omni without them noticing it's not dairy.

De Biomarkt in Amsterdam has Blue Style Sheese and Smoked Cheddar in stock again!! Get it while you can!

I'm in Berlin at the moment and bought it here. I am SO cynical about fauxmage in general, but this one was actually pretty decent. :) Nice to know that the Blue Sheeze is out there for when I fancy it. :)

When we lived off the Haarlemmerstraat in Amsterdam, an Asian fast food place called Ralph's used to sell the Grunschnabels but I think that location closed..but maybe there's another location (there were several a few years ago).

It's also sold in Dun Yong supermarket on the Zeedijk! That's one of my favorite places to shop.
